pHformula SOS rescue cream - 50 ml

A rich cream that forms a protective layer on your skin, for when it feels dry, tight, and overstimulated.

Why it works

Dry skin doesn’t necessarily need more water; it struggles to retain the water it already has. It is a leaky barrier, not a shortage, which is why drinking another glass of water won’t help here. This cream addresses both: a glycoshield forms a fine film on the surface that slows down evaporation, and a moisture complex with natural humectants replenishes what your skin should be producing itself. Vitamin E neutralizes the free radicals caused by wind, sun, and dry indoor air.

The texture is rich and nourishing, yet it absorbs completely without leaving a sticky residue.

For whom

For those whose skin feels tight after washing, who experience flaking around the nose and cheeks, and whose skin turns red from wind or heating. Perfect for winter, after a ski trip, or for those who spend all day in air-conditioned rooms. Also for those with oily skin who have been too harsh with strong products: that skin is essentially dry skin at that moment and requires the exact same care.

How to use

Morning and/or evening, after cleansing and applying your serum, to your face, neck, and décolleté. During the day, follow with sunscreen. A common mistake is applying this cream to bone-dry skin. A protective film only works if there is something to protect. Apply it to skin that is still slightly damp from your serum, and you will lock that moisture in.

A final note

This is a cream for a specific period, not necessarily for the entire year. Many customers use it from November to March and then switch back to something lighter. You will feel the comfort that same evening; it takes about three weeks for your skin to stop feeling tight even without cream. And where I see the most mistakes being made is with cleansing: those who continue to cleanse with products that leave the skin squeaky clean will continue to have dry skin, no matter how rich the cream applied afterward is.
